The natural-ce:9.1.1 docker container is not starting anymore (since 01. January 2020) because of expired license.

Here’s part of the logs:

```auto
...
Starting up NaturalDevelopmentServer at internal port 2700

Your license for 'Natural Development Server 9.1.1' has expired!

NDV started correctly!
```

Thanks,  
Christian

Still the same issue in june in the natural-ce container. Both the ndv91.xml and the nat91.xml expired on : \<ExpirationDate\>2019/12/31\</ExpirationDate\>

As a workaround if you have the licenses by yourself you can substitude them into the container even its stopped with a similar command as:

docker cp ndv91.xml naturalContainer:/opt/softwareag/common/conf/ndv91.xml  
docker cp nat91.xml naturalContainer:/opt/softwareag/common/conf/nat91.xml

Hope it helps while its not updated,  
José Miguel
